Indoor autoflower concerns.

[swishersweet2]

Whats going on everybody ! im new to this fourm and autoflowering strains .

i have a couple of grows under my belt , some good some bad. Now i have more knowledge of cannabis and attempted another grow .

I got some beans 3 fast bud #2 from sweet seeds , and 2 purple kush autos from buddha seeds.
I got my rock wool ready and germed my beans on may 2nd they sproued on the 5th. After 13 days i put them into tiny pots ( dont know the size ill post pics) and they have been in there for a month today june 18th.

iam using cocogro mixed with perlite and Veg+bloom as my nutrient- i will post a feed chart along with pics of plants .


OK heres my concern i dont think theyt are big enough for there age (44 days) i will soon transplant to 5 gallon smart pots but there drinking a little more than a half a cup of water every 2-3 days iam going to wait until i have to feed every day.

Does anyone think my plants will grow big enough before there flowering cycle is over? ive never had plants at 44 days old that are so small with budsites iam concerned with my harvest i rather not spend all the money for my electric bill if its not worth it , i was hoping for a good 1.5-2 ozs each in 5 gallon pots under a 400w hps.

Lookin stunted bud, the best thing to do is germ them in your final pot....and as for pot size any thing from 1 gallon to 3 gallon is best.....See what happens is the tap root bottoms out in the small pots and stunts them for the first 3 to 4 weeks you don't want anything getting in the way of the tap and don't let them dry out... if your starting in cups till sex I would not use anything smaller then 32oz cups I prefer 64 oz cups.......with that I'm sorry to say, your yeild is gonna be minimal...at best

I feed every other time I water, and I feed at 1/2 strength..

The poll is kind of confusing.

Do you ph your rock wool befor you germ in them...

44 days? Dude you may as well start some fresh beans, and like GA6 said start in final pot. Minimum 1 gallon, I use 5 gallon pots, most use 3.

I am afraid those that you have are at the point of no return. No return, literally.

are you going for a micro grow?

alright man good to know , i dont let them dry all the way , i need to get new beans i was hoping this grow would come through for me i knew the size was a problem for the age , should i try and transplant em to 5 gallon pots now ? thats all i have on hand at the moment are they even worth trying to keep ?

They also look very stretched. Ideally you want your node spacing, the space between leaf sets, to be about 1". I suspect you had your light too high.
